2016

I wanted to represent these grade school children in their natural environment, the classroom. I walked throughout the school on tour and peered through the open doorway of one class full of students. Their attention turned to me and I was met with looks of confusion, wonder, interest, and concern as I fiddled with my camera. Most smiled, some laughed, and a few just peered into the lens looking at their own reflections. The camera served as a bridge. It connected my outside perspective with their world. Breaking down barriers one click of the shutter at a time.
